Variant Heat Check for 9/7/16

Harley Quinn #1 Dell’Otto Pink Variant

HEAT CHECK STATUS: Ok, I might be dead wrong on this book. The Puddin is dropping like a stone, but this book keeps climbing, with raws almost on par with graded 9.8 puddins. It seems like just a matter of time until this surpasses the Hughes variant, which is insane! (I know it’s in last week’s top 10, but it’s too huge not to mention)

Deathstroke #10 1:10 Liefeld Variant

HEAT CHECK STATUS: All it took was a clip of Deathstroke in the new Batman movie to send his first appearance sky high. On the surface this variant seems rare with very few sales. A 1900 print run is not quite microscopic, but Liefeld has had some heat lately and both characters on this cover have ties to the DCU.

Haunted Mansion #1 1:10 Crosby Variant

HEAT CHECK STATUS: Haunted Mansion hitting $100??? Now that’s scary!

Note: Variants appearing in the Top 10 will not appear on this list due to contractual obligations.

I hate that the pink variant is just ok artwise not too mention just a different version,but will be surpassing his better variants. I also hate myself for being burnt out on harley variants and passing on the $50 price tag. UGH!

See them going for 310.00 and above it’s the low print run driving it honestly people could care less if it came from a comic book store print. It’s gabriel dell’otto it’s a low print it’s a amazing cover and if french batman has taught me anything it’s expect the unexpected even if it makes no sense for it to blow up. Honestly dell’otto is making comic book art almost museum art gallery worthy.

If you look at the art it screams katty Perry roar song. The main focal point is the tattoo this screams to the female collectors. Harley was in mad love she grew from the shadows of joker and now screams her independence. I think this rebirth has so much meaning in artistic art I’m glad my wife made me buy this pink variant for her lol.

Ballistic is right.
So may damaged Harley Quinn foil variants for sale. The staff distributing the books at the Baltimore Comic Con didn’t care for its fragility. Clean NM copies are being sold for $120.

I absolutely had to have the Dell’Otto HQ variant, such a wonderful piece (that and the Artgerm variant). There was no Pink cover at the time that I was aware of, and it kind of stings to see that one climb so high so quick while my regular but still somewhat costly version sits without movement. That said, I personally prefer it over the nauseous pink.

It may be a stretch to think this will unseat the almighty Hughes, we shall see.
